POND HOCKEY is the story of the world of outdoor hockey, dropping in on backyard rinks and frozen ponds in search of the roots of hockey and the true meaning of the game. The feature-length documentary chronicles the shared story of rink rats and their heroes including Patrick Kane, Krissy Wendell, Lou Nanne, Wayne Gretzky, Neal Broten and many others. Crosscut with these interviews is the on-ice action of the first-ever U.S. Pond Hockey Championships, a tournament created to recapture the purity and youthful spirit native to the pond, as two teams strive to win the Golden Shovel trophy on the gritty outdoor ice of Lake Calhoun.
From the small town of Roseau in the northernmost tip of Minnesota, to the US Hockey Hall of Fame, from Boston University's Agganis Arena, to the historic Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor, Michigan, theatergoers love POND HOCKEY! And now it's available to you too, on DVD.
DVD bonus features included extended interviews with hockey stars and director commentary.
